  I’ve followed every instruction given by wordpress to embed a board to my page. It doesn’t show up as a board… just a link. And trying to create a widget hasn’t worked either.

  Anyone?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there

  My guess is that you would need to unlink this hyperlink in the Visual Editor Toolbar. The Pinterest board embed instructions say at the bottom:

  “Make sure it’s not a clickable hyperlink. If it is, place your cursor in the link, and then click the “Unlink” button in the Visual Editor toolbar.”

  I hope this helps!

  When you create a page, you will notice that underneath the title there are two tabs. One says “Visual” and one says “HTML”. By default, you will be composing your post within the Visual Editor.

  The tool bar below the tab options corresponds with the two editors. On that toolbar you will see what looks like two chain links. When you hover over the link image, you will see text that says “Insert/Edit Link”

  If you select the Pinterest link and click that button, it should remove the hyperlink and allow the board to be embedded.

  I hope this helps! Good luck!
